Summary

Dean’s favourite coffee shop, The Graveyard Shift, is only open after the sun goes down. Which is perfect for him, because that’s exactly when he craves coffee the most while doing the overnight at the fire hall. The coffee shop’s owner is pretty perfect too, but it’s kind of a bummer that Dean never gets to see Cas during the day. In a world where the supernatural live more or less in peace with the rest of humanity, it’s a little impolite to ask Cas just what he really is - or what his dark past entails.

Summary

Dean sighs heavily and leans his weight on the edge of the counter. His eyes track the back and forth of a coffee stir-stick as one end is absentmindedly chewed. It’s weird that he’s kinda jealous of it – but not in the way that he himself wants to be chewed. He would give just about anything to be touching those lips. The very same set of lips that has distracted him for hours over the course of the last year since he got this job.

Summary

An alternate universe of my beloved Out of the Deep that takes place entirely in the world of the Fin-kin. Castiel is still the bright-fin we know and love from OotD. But Dean? He’s a fang-fin; a violent breed of fin-kin who want nothing more than to bring war to Castiel's colony - or so he's been led to believe.
